Man is not worried by real problems so much as by his imagined anxieties about real problems

We should do everything both cautiously and confidently at the same time.

Nothing great comes into being all at once.

Confident because of our caution

Do not strive for things occurring to occur as you wish, but wish the things occurring as they occur, and you will flow well.

Freedom is the only worthy goal in life. It is won by disregarding things that lie beyond our control. Stop aspiring to be anyone other than your own best self: for that does fall within your control.

In order to please others, we loose our hold on our life's purpose.
